Description

Neocarratetraose 4(1),4(3)-Disulfate Disodium Salt is a defined, sulfated oligosaccharide derivative of carrageenan, a natural polysaccharide extracted from red seaweed. This compound is valued for its specific, high-purity structure, making it an essential reference standard and a key intermediate in advanced biochemical research and development. It is primarily required by researchers and manufacturers in the pharmaceutical, nutraceutical, and cosmetic industries for studying sulfated carbohydrate interactions, developing novel drug delivery systems, and creating high-performance bioactive ingredients.

Application

• Pharmaceutical Research: Used as a reference standard or intermediate in the development of anti-inflammatory, antiviral, and anticoagulant agents due to its specific sulfation pattern.
• Biochemical Studies: Serves as a critical tool for investigating enzyme-substrate interactions, particularly those involving sulfatases and glycosidases.
• Nutraceutical Development: Employed in R&D for creating novel functional food ingredients with targeted bioactivity.
• Cosmetic Science: Investigated for use in advanced skincare formulations for its potential moisturizing and bioactive properties.
• Diagnostic Reagent Production: Acts as a key component or calibrant in the manufacture of diagnostic kits targeting specific carbohydrate biomarkers.
• Glycobiology Research: Essential for studying the structure-activity relationships of sulfated polysaccharides and their role in cell signaling.
